DUMONT DUNES SHOOT RELOCATED OWING TO PERMIT ISSUES (A CONFLICT WITH THE CLEAN UP WEEKEND APPARENTLY, GO FIGURE....) WE CANNOT SHOOT AT THE DUNES THIS WEEKEND. AS A RESULT WE HAVE SWITCHED TO ANOTHER LOCATION IN CALIFORNIA. TO ALL THOSE WHO SAW THIS SHOOT AS A POTENTIALLY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE FOR THE DUNES (I THINK THERE WERE AT LEAST THREE OF YOU) THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION AND WILLINGNESS TO BE INVOLVED. TO THOSE OF YOU MEANWHILE WHO SAW THIS THREAD MERELY AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE WILDLY AMUSING I THANK YOU TOO. ID PARTICULARLY LIKE TO OFFER SPECIAL THANKS TO PETE, WHOM I HAVE PLAGUED WITH EMAILS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, FOR HIS EXTREME SHOW OF PATIENCE. AND TO ALL OF YOU WHO OFFERED EITHER YOUR BODIES (FOR PHOTOGRAPHY I MEAN) AND ASSISTANCE (VEHICLES ETC) I CAN ONLY SAY SORRY IT DIDNT WORK OUT AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH. ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND. WISH WE COULD BE THERE. GOODBYE! NICKSUL ESQUIRE MAGAZINE

Thanks fellas for the positive response so far (those of you that have actually posted positive ones). Bear with us for a few days and keep a look out for updates. And to reiterate were not only interested in riders, but the support staff too. And it doesnt matter if your machines are broke right now - if youre gonna be there we can consider you for the shoot. You never know you might actually enjoy yourselves...! Nicksul ESQUIRE

Size for the shoot is largely governed by the clothing samples available to us (they are lent from the manufacturers for the purpose of photoshoots). We usually demand larger sizes (or a broader range of sizes) than most magazines. We may well shoot more people, but the ones we actually dress will generally be within these size ranges. Nick

Okay. Morning Dune people. Heres an unusual post... Esquire magazine is shooting a photo portfolio for its June issue at Dumont Dunes one weekend in March. We're looking to capture the spirit of the dunes, in action shots, with machines and also the atmosphere in camp. It's also (GET THIS) a men's fashion portfolio so we'd bring clothes (mostly jeans leather, casual stuff) with us. Esquire doesn't shoot models but real American men. So here's the thing. You're the models. What we're looking for is men aged roughly 20-40 (and roughly 5ft 9 to 6ft, 32-34 waist, 40reg suit size or one size either side). You don't have to consider yourself a great looker either. This is about real life. We're not set on the best weekend yet but 15-17 March is looking good. If you think you'd be up for a single shot, which would require about 2 hours max of your time either on the dunes or in camp, let us know by posting here with info, and a photo (without your helmet on please!) along with contact details and which weekends you plan on being there. Alternatively send an email to me at Esquire (nsullivan@hearst.com). Thanks! Nick Sullivan FASHION DIRECTOR Esquire
